As a member of the HuffPost Tech Team, you will start launching new software ASAP. We use a realworld agile development process that includes rapid development of new products designed by small teams, which work closely with our tech-savvy, data driven editors. We are innovating the web in many different ways: by partnering with TED Talks, leading editorial teams in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, on mobile with new and ground breaking iOS and Android applications, and with our realtime video network HuffPost Live.
HuffPost Tech Team members are hardcore software development and design professionals who take user interface design and coding seriously, but have a great time while doing so. Not only do we have healthy snacks, nap rooms, and a ping pong table, but a Minecraft server as well! The HuffPost Tech Team is small enough that you get to know everyone but large enough that you'll find a great work-life balance.
